    That’s not the issue. The issue is there is a specific ideology amongst a lot of sheriff’s that is their version of sovereign citizenship, the Constitutional Sheriff

    The Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association ( CSPOA) is a political organization of local police officials in the United States who contend that federal and state government authorities are subordinate to the local authority of county sheriffs and police.

      I see, that’s not the same as properly upholding the Constitution. Hopefully they limit the scope of their rebellious stance to non-enforcement of laws that they believe are unconstitutional, instead of more malicious activity.
